Evgeni Malkin – The goal was only Malkin's 2nd in 9 games, but certainly a step in the right direction. He had 7 shots in over 23 minutes of ice time as he continues to throw the puck to the net with every chance he gets. Overall, he had a strong game and played a big role in the perfect penalty killing effort for Magnitogorsk. His only weakness was in the faceoff circle, where he went 8 for 24.
